What periods do these pieces date from?

The selection includes works from the sixteenth century through to the mid-twentieth century. Buyers will find Victorian pieces alongside modernist oil paintings and earlier textile panels.

What materials are commonly used?

Artists worked with oil paint, watercolour pigment, and silk across canvas, paper, and wood. Each material offers a different texture and depth of colour for the yellow and blue palette.

Are these works signed by artists?

Many paintings and watercolours feature visible artist signatures or bear historical attribution. Some pieces represent notable names from British and continental European schools.

How should I hang textile panels?

Tapestry panels require careful mounting to distribute weight evenly across the fabric. Professional framing or specialised hanging rods protect the historic silk fibres from damage.

What subjects appear in these artworks?

Common subjects range from floral still lifes and river landscapes to coastal scenes in France. Figurative works include ancestor portraits, aviation scenes, and surrealist compositions.
